My daughter's friend got a new puppy and there was a name off. I put my bid in. Anyway it came 2nd. Arlo is his name but I refuse to except defeat. Conversation goes like this:
Me: How's Gus going?
Friend: good
Friend to kid: Your mum knows his name isn't Gus
Kid: Yeah. She knows
Me: How's Gus going?
My name is better.
Nope it isn't. Gus is good - easy to shout out across the dog park. Arlo is just not as shoutable.
If weβre going by shoutability, you canβt go past screaming Fenton in the park.
Gus is more guttural. Arlo is pissy.
Arlo is too basic.
Gus is solid.
I'm all about naming dogs with names for old white dudes. Like Gary, Larry or Marvin.
Gary was my second option but it was poo pooed.
Their loss is what I'm saying.
If I could name a pet, I'd choose a silly people name like Edith, Brittany, or Dorothy, or like Martin, Jeffrey, or Jason. Peter. Sandra. Just like, normal generic people names. I think it's hilarious when pets have names like that! Gus is so good! I vote for Gus, 100%
My Void has the most human name I've ever gifted.

Is Gus a golden retriever? He sounds adorable.
Nah. I don't know what he is but he's a Gus for sure.
cat will end up being called "Arrrgh" , then Arse when he's naughty
Just remembered, wasn't there a monster on Troll Hunters called Arrrgh? πΉ π
